Perfect Scalloped Potatoes (Dairy Free, Gluten Free)

Winner winner, scalloped potato dinner!

This is what was exclaimed from the dinner table when I served these potatoes to my non-health-food-loving parents. So their acceptance was all the seal of approval I needed to get these up on the blog for you guys.

I have been told by my doctor to eat my starchy vegetables (including tubers like potatoes) to up my fiber intake so that good gut bacteria has something to feed on and can flourish, so I wanted to come up with an "ode to potatoes" recipe -- one that really made potatoes the star of the dinner table. And this recipe sure nailed it!

I remember as a kid having the scalloped potatoes made from a box, but these are FAR from boxed scalloped potatoes. They are creamy, smoky, crispy on the top, and everything you want in a comfort food with a healthy twist.

This recipe is completely dairy free, has healthy fats from coconut oil, and the classic creamy, cheesy flavor and texture from nutritional yeast and cassava flour.

Thanks to smoked paprika (my #1 favorite kitchen spice at the moment), these potatoes have an amazing smoky flavor, and the familiar golden color is thanks to turmeric.

All you need is one pot, and one casserole dish (or another deep baking dish), and this recipe comes together quickly and easily. Plus, it's a great dish to make ahead, keep in the fridge, and then reheat for an event later that day or even the day after.

I hope you love this dish as much as me and my family did!
